* The differences were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test; p < 0.05. Abbreviations: VAT—visceral fat surface; SAT—subcutaneous fat surface; VAT/SAT—visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio; WHR—waist-to-hip ratio; HOMA-IR—homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-AD—homeostatic model assessment—adiponectin; L/A—leptin to adiponectin ratio; NS—not statistically significant.
